Well I just picked up 2 Trendnet TPL-303E2K 200MBPS Powerline AV Fast Ethernet Adapter Kit and it is AWESOME to say the least. Everywhere I have a power plug I can have Ethernet internet.

Setup is so simple and take less than a minute and bam you have ethernet everywhere.

I did some speed tests around the house and it is faster than my wireless as far as ping but the same download speeds as wireless when the wireless single is strong but if you are in an area where the wireless single is weak the powerline ethernet is faster.

I haven't tested file transfer over the network but I assume it will be a lot faster than wireless N.

I am still keeping wireless for all the mobile devices but wired for all the computers.

Few things people should know is that powerline Ethernet is very dependent on your houses wiring. If you have a somewhat new house you will be fine. Also everything has to be on the same breaker box. This shouldn't matter for a house but may be a problem for some places. Your speed can also drop depending on what appliances are running, etc.

Just like all technologies it is it's pluses and minuses. This just saves a lot of work putting in Ethernet cables all over the house. Plus will be much faster than wireless if you have good wiring.

Thanks Linus if it wasn't for you I wouldn't even know this magical technology exists. I was very skeptical even after watching your video as it seemed too good to be true but it isn't! Cost is pretty expensive. So far I have spent $200 on getting powerline adapters and around another $100 on gigabyte switches and cables. Setup time is minutes which would be FAR better than drilling holes in walls/floor joists and would be much cheaper if you include labor time.

So far everything has been great.
